We love a good slice of pie, but why have a slice when we can have an entire pie for ourselves? With this in mind today we decided to share with you our delicious Apple Hand Pie Recipe.
Similar to Stela Parks's McDonald's Apple Pie Recipe our tarts are made with a Stela's No-Stress All-Butter Pastry Crust. We like to use this dough on our Apple and Blackberry Hand Pie because it has a very flaky crust and a rich buttery flavor that goes perfectly with the complex flavor of the filling. In this recipe, we used Fuji and Granny Smith apples to diversify the taste and texture of the filling, but feel free to use the apples you liked the most.
